Hand Foot Mouth Disease, why visit me again?

Yes, a long time virus came back via my nephew again. I had just recovered from the Hand Foot Mouth Disease (HFMD).

Luckily this time round, I detected it early and went to visit the doctor when spots started appearing on my hand and ulcers in my mouth. It wasn't as bad as last time in 2014, except for the ulcers.

The ulcers were terrible, I started to treat them with salt. It was damn painful, but the recovery is much faster. Give a tip, rub the ulcers with salt, bear with the pain and quickly rinse off the salt with water if the pain becomes unbearable. Repeat for a few times. Then treat yourself with ice/ice cream to numb the pain.

As for the hand and feet, the spots were still quite minimal and they broke and dry off easily. Maybe the hot weather the drying too.

Well, now I have recover and hopefully, it won't visit me again so soon.
